Stretford parkrun Champion - Dennis Yarwood

Name: Dennis YarwoodHome parkrun: Stretford parkrun

Discovered parkrun just months after starting to run again and now 6 years and over 300 parkruns later I'm reaping the benefits. A change in my lifestyle and mindset included swapping out those biscuits & crisps for fruit & vegetables, getting on my bike rather than driving and of course parkrun every Saturday morning. Friends and family have also indulged - it's great to be a part of the running community and the vast parkrun family.

Join the #HealthySwaps revolution and make your pledge here. When 50% of your parkrun attendance have pledged to #HealthySwaps, the Co-op will visit your parkrun with healthy food boxes and recipe ideas for every runner
